"I'll boil two eggs and bring some sweet potatoes or potatoes later, and bake them at noon, do you know? Really, why didn't you say it in advance last night when you wanted to enter the mountain? Otherwise, I'll bake you some bread in the morning. ”

said to Ji Beibei that he wanted to go up the mountain, and Ji Aizhen was relieved.

No wonder she is relieved, it is really their village itself close to the mountains and the sea. As the saying goes: rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the sea to eat the sea.

However, compared to a careless one, a big wave may be able to sweep people away mercilessly. Most families in the village still prefer their children to go to the mountains.

Because the mountains near their village are close to each other, and the people in the village often walk, there are no wild beasts. Not to mention adults, even if it is just a child, as long as you do not trespass into the depths of the mountains and forests, it is not dangerous at all.

For the adults of the village. Mountains and forests are a huge, inexhaustible treasure trove for them.

Since the revival of all things in spring, the fields and hillsides are full of fresh and tender wild vegetables and wild fruits that can be seen everywhere.

If there is another rain, there will be a large number of large, small, or common or rare mushrooms coming out of the trees and grass in the days after the rain.

Not to mention the fungus that was inadvertently found on the branch of a decayed tree; pheasants and hares that broke into sight and fled in panic;

There are also all kinds of snails that can be touched in the mountain stream, and those small but unusually delicious wild fish that make you want to swallow your tongue together......

And for the children of the village. The mountains and forests are a good place for them to satisfy their cravings.

Compared with the mountain goods that adults value in exchange for money, children prefer the eggs on the trees, and they can get their hands when they climb up; It can often be seen in rivers, ditches, and streams wherever there is water. It's not hard to catch, and when you catch it, you can peel the shell and peel the shrimp and crabs and put them in your mouth.

In addition to these, there are many kinds of wild flowers and wild fruits that are not lacking in the mountains almost all year round.

As long as they are willing, they can go into the mountains, whether it is a bunch of acacia flowers that can be eaten in their hands; or prickly pears, wild apples, and fragrant fragrances; or reed poles; Even a clover that chews a little sour...... All of them can be eaten to satisfy cravings.

Hearing Ji Beibei say that she was going to enter the mountain, Ji Aizhen's first reaction was that she was greedy. Thinking that July and August were the time when there were the most wild fruits in the mountains, she smiled strangely and asked casually, "Who did you make an appointment with today?" ”

"No, I just want to go and see it myself." Ji Beibei didn't seem to really answer. Then seeing what Ji Aizhen wanted to say, she hurriedly pushed her out with both hands, looking very helpless, "Sister, don't ask." If you ask, the sun will go down by you. ”

"Didn't I just ask? Alas, don't push, don't push...... My porridge. ”

Although Ji Beibei's movements were very light, Ji Aizhen, who was being pushed away, was still extremely nervous about the food in the bamboo basket in her hand, and hurriedly hugged the basket.

After checking that the gruel and greens in it were all right, Ji Aizhen breathed a sigh of relief. Then he glared at Ji Beibei helplessly, and scolded angrily: "Are you so anxious, I'm impatient just asking?" ”

"Sister--"

Ji Beibei stretched out the end and called out to Ji Aizhen again, and then reached out and pointed up at the sun, which was less than seven o'clock, but had jumped out of the horizon for a while, with an innocent face.

"I'm scared of you."

Ji Aizhen looked up in the direction of Ji Beibei's finger, and then thought of the summer sun poison, Ji Beibei was really not good to go to the mountain, so he didn't talk nonsense, just turned around and left. Before leaving, I didn't forget to drop a sentence of An Ji Beibei's heart: "Don't worry, I will definitely come back soon without delaying you to go up the mountain to find something delicious." ”

"Thank you, sister."

Well, this is really the gentle, considerate super invincible sister who has changed in her two lives.

didn't think much about it for a while, looking at Ji Aizhen's back that had obviously accelerated her speed, Ji Beibei sighed with satisfaction and began to wash up and eat breakfast quickly.

As for Ji Aizhen's explanation that she boiled two eggs, and then brought sweet potatoes and potatoes, she didn't plan to do that. She can eat a lot in the space, and it doesn't matter how she eats when no one sees her on the mountain.

Ji Aizhen's return speed was really fast.

Just when Ji Beibei finished eating and cleaned up, he was able to find out the special basket that her adoptive father Ji Kuan had specially made for her according to her requirements, with a red pattern, neither big nor small, just suitable for her back. Ji Aizhen gasped and stepped into the courtyard door.

"Just right." As soon as she got home and saw that Ji Beibei was ready to go out, Ji Aizhen's face suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and showed a smile.

"Sister, did you come back running?"

Seeing Ji Aizhen's panting, Ji Beibei was distressed. Only then did she realize that since she had planned to cut the pigweed directly, she must have had breakfast first. It's no wonder that I didn't feel sick to my stomach not long after this meal?

She regretted it for a while, with a look of chagrin on her face, and her tone inevitably brought out a bit of self-blame.

I knew I would rather go up the mountain later. Anyway, she didn't just plan to go to the mountains to pick mushrooms and mountain goods for a day or two, so there was no need to rush at all. Why do you have to let Ji Aizhen rush like this?

She knew that she had always been a dead-eyed person, and her heart was that her family was more important, but she put herself in a position that could hardly be found in the corner.

This is true for adoptive parents, for younger brothers, for her brother-in-law and her own future children, and even for an adopted sister like herself.

"No, don't worry. I just walked faster and didn't run. ”

Ji Aizhen saw that Ji Beibei was distressed about herself, and she was happy, and the smile on her face became a little more obvious. But he firmly denied the fact that he had run.

This time, she was afraid that Ji Beibei would continue to talk more, so she directly reached out and gently pushed her out of the house. While urging her to leave quickly, he did not forget to advise: "Go down the mountain early in the afternoon." Mom said that today is going to celebrate the harvest year in our family. Eat meat in the evening, braised pork. ”

Ji Aizhen said in a brisk tone, especially accentuated the three words "braised pork", and waved to Ji Beibei with a smile: "I'm waiting for you to come back for dinner at night, don't be too late to call the little brother and Feng Nian drooling, do you know?" ”

"Got it."

was pushed out of the house, and Ji Beibei could only wave goodbye to Ji Aizhen helplessly.

She didn't say anything if she didn't have to wait for her to cook.

Because they usually have to go to the fields to work, Ji Kuan and Chang Fengying always get up early before dawn in the morning, and they don't eat breakfast at home. And at noon, those who go to school on weekdays go to school, and those who are busy with farm work are busy with farm work.

Even if it's a holiday or a day when there isn't so much farm work to do, isn't there still a mountain ahead? Especially in July and August when students are on summer vacation, the mountain is full of fruits, and everyone's enthusiasm for entering the mountain is higher.

Although the mountain is right in front of you, it is very easy to enter the mountain. But as soon as you enter, it is not good to guarantee that you can come back on time to eat at noon, so most of the time, it is difficult for the Ji family to gather together to eat together except at night.

Therefore, over time, no matter how late the Ji family is at night, the habit of having to wait for everyone to eat together has been retained, and everyone has a tacit understanding, and it is easy not to break it.
